• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved Dovecot/Courier Error

Tim Gerdes

New Pleskian
Hello,
I have a problem with the mailserver settings. I use Dovecot as a POP3 server, but Plesk indicates I use Courier.

Courier is displayed as an installed POP3 server.

But the Plesk installer says I have Dovecot installed.
Dovecot runs perfectly, but this error appears if I want to change the mail settings.

How can I tell Plesk that I use Dovecot?
 
Can you try switching to dovecot and see if it presents any error? You can ran the following command:

plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component dovecot
 
I have followed the instructions, but unfortunately nothing has changed.

This is how it looks in the service administration.

And this error I get when I try to start Dovecot.
 
Hey,

I need the output of the command to help you troubleshoot this, please run both of these commands (in order) and paste the result on this post:

plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component courier
plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component dovecot
